Juventus have offered a contract to Schalke full-back Sead Kolasinac, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool and Arsenal, as they aim to sign him this month.
The full-back is out of contract at Schalke in the summer and has so far shown no inclination to sign a new deal with the club, leading to suggestions that could leave in the winter window.
With Patrice Evra expected to leave the club this month, Juventus have identified the 23-year-old as the Frenchman’s replacement and have been on his trail for some time.
According to Italian daily Tuttosport, the Juventus hierarchy contacted the player’s representatives on Tuesday and offered him terms on a contract with the Bianconeri.
It has been claimed that the Italian champions have offered a contract worth €2m plus bonuses per season to the player in order to entice him to Serie A.

The Bianconeri are ready to offer a fee of around €4m to €5m to Schalke for a player who could walk away from the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.
Liverpool and Arsenal have also been linked with having an interest in the Bosnian, but Juventus have taken the lead in the chase for Kolasinac’s signature at the moment.
